There is no official release of Britannica for the Linux operating system, however, a script is provided that can help experienced users run Encyclopædia Britannica 2004 Ultimate Reference Suite DVD (and other 2004 editions of Britannica) on Linux, with some limitations (for example the dictionary, Flash/Quicktime presentations, and content update functions do not work, and preferences must be edited manually).[2] This script specifically requires version 1.3.1 of JRE, but can usually be made to work with newer versions if the version check is commented out.
The 2004 Britannica installer does not run in Wine as of 2011.
